I’m sick of people treating YouTubers like bums. I decided to speak out.
I appreciate it :) we’re more than just the money we earn
Except none of that is actually work.
Realistically they have to produce an hours content a day
Now the bigger youtubers have more edited stuff. So an hours content could be 3 hours of footage recorded. Maybe more.
So 3 hours of recording 4 hours editing That’s 7 hours A day 7 days a week.
49 hours a week 2,548 hours a year 461 hours more than the average amount of hours worked in a year.
That’s before you account for fan correspondence and other social media stuff.
That’s how they make money. It’s a job Therefore it’s work.
Screaming into a camera and playing and is not work
By that logic. Acting Music Anything to do with television Stand up comedy
None of those things would be work because they’re doing something they enjoy.
They’re doing it to entertain others.
Ah yes, it’s not work, that means anyone should be able to do it with equal success.
Good luck, your time begins now.
Respect YouTubers 2k17
Wow holy shit
ENJOYING WHAT YOU DO DOES NOT NEGATE THE EFFORT PUT INTO YOUR CAREER
When I got my first internship at a tv production company my mother gave me a talk about how I’d have to work very very hard at it. I was like yes? Obviously? But then my mother said “I don’t think you’ve ever worked hard a day in your life.”
Insulted, I asked how all of the art/theatre/film stuff I’d been doing over the years didn’t count as hard work. My mother shrank back and said that she guessed that stuff counted.
When I talked to my therapist about this, she said that my parents associated “work” with suffering. That if the act brings you joy and not pain, than it must not be work, even if it’s difficult and takes significant amounts of time. I think a lot of people also have this sort of block, that work = suffering. It’s a sort of mentality that causes one to look down on certain careers, particularly those in the art and entertainment industries, even though they require just as much time and effort as anything else.
I know “destroy the idea” has become a bit of a cliche on tumblr, but seriously. Let’s distroy the idea that something isn’t work if it doesn’t bring you pain.
For real though, being someone who works with youtubers I can guarantee you they work their asses off more than most of you guys would know. None of you get to see the behind the scenes shit of what they have to do everyday, and its pretty hard to do even though these guys enjoy it.
I’m tired of seeing youtube being classified as a mediocre/not even a job when its honestly as professional as an any day job. Its the best job because you create/do what you want to do and no one can stop you. Unless youtube changes shit but yeah its a job that you can make it what you want it to be.
I feel safer going 120mph on the autobahn in Germany than I do going 65mph on the roads here in the U.S. since the majority of the people here don’t follow the rules.
